It looks like you can read the bottom of a page, but can't get to the top of the page easily. How does this work for reading the top half of an 8" book with tiny type? (Bible) Do you constantly have to move the book or the lens? I want something I can...

I bought the lens for quilting but just checked with a small print Bible for you. Since it sits on legs on your chest (not uncomfortable), it seems to me that you can easily read the top of the page without a problem. You will probably have to move the book to read the very bottom of the page. I actually think it is better for reading the Bible than a normal book since most Bibles have two columns per page. Reading a whole page, you might find some blurriness along the edge of your page. Hope this helps.

Depends on the book. For textbooks not always. There isn't enough space in the book between the text and the binding so the words on the left get cut off. That or the scanner is slightly too big and wide so the scanner doesn't capture all the text. I would say for most books it's not suitable and you'd be better off with a flat bed book scanner which is much better quality and easier to use but more expensive.

I view it from about 2 1/2 feet, but it depends on whether you are focusing on the entire screen, or just a part of it. For example, I use Google Drive, and the documents take up only a part of the screen. Sometimes I lean closer to look at small print. However, if you are using the screen to view movies, I would back up a foot. 7 feet would be too far for me.

Yes. Just as suggested in previous post, you can easily scan pages from a book. Just make sure the page you're attempting to scan in flat enough so that the image is not distorted.

I read reviews and virtually all of them are concerned on photo scanning. I want to buy the scanner because I want to scan multi-page documents and books. My main concern is how this scanner copes with shadows in the middle of the thick books. My HP scanner and Epson all-in-one machine leave big shadows when scanning thick documents. ave tried document scanning as well?

Yes. When reading a paperback book, I move the magnifier straight down the page as I read. For larger books, I need to move my hand side to side as well when reading down the page as the magnifier covers about 90% of the line. But what makes me like this magnifier is the center of the field is very clear and large enough that the print which is not covered in the 90% does not become a distraction.

I know it's probably too late for the person who asked this; but for anyone else with the same question...I think giving any of the Kindle e-readers (not necessarily the kindle fire 'tablets') would be a better idea...they are CHEAPER, and they'll be much more versatile. Not only can you install a Bible on them, they can hold virtually thousands of other books!! I have owned this particular item AND I've had a Kindle touch; the latter was cheaper, lasted longer and was sooooo much more versatile! (I do not have any connection or work with Amazon)

That is the strength of the reading glass. The higher the number the greater the magnification. It is not at all about the size as it will fit your head.

The image of the closed caption sentence may be slightly distorted but there is improvement enough to be able to read it. May be worth considering an iPad for vision issues...the image is clear and the magnifying sheets would work perfectly.

I think it depends on how big the Bible is. I haven't tried, but I think it would work okay for a smaller Bible, not the really big ones.

I don't think so. My grandson uses it for distance vision and a separate magnifying glass for close up. He said, for him, it does not work for reading.

I purchased this cover, along with another one, but haven't used this one yet. I have been using this type of cover for years for novels I am reading and they work great for that. But I am afraid it might be a very tight fit for your Bible, if it fits at all. I measured the inside and it seems to measure just under 10 inches, so it might be hard to get the Bible in it. I wish I had something close to that size to try, but I don't. I hope you find one that fits and will work for you. I love protecting the books the best I can, plus it makes it so much easier to carry it when your hands are full.

You might try something like a digital magnifier, that would probably be your best option. I looked online for you and found this one:http://www.firststreetonline.com/product.jsp?id=30803It is much more expensive but it's made for magnifying books, letters and such. I looked on amazon but the 2 magnifiers they have available don't seem to be as good. I hope this helps.

You know, I read that people had issues with turning the pages, but I don't notice it being a problem for me. The clips are there, but they can be moved and adjusted easily. If they weren't there, your pages don't stay as flat and it would be harder to read. Like most people said, you figure it out pretty quick. I usually don't even have to move them unless I am highlighting an area at the very bottom of the page.

Hi, I have a Zen V and I use reading glasses. I had no trouble making out the screen w/o my glasses. (I have had trouble reading it outdoors, though) To set a book mark, press and HOLD DOWN the lower right hand spot with the backward arrow. A menu will poo up, the second option down is 'Set Bookmark. Use the joystick to highlight this option and press down on the joystick to go to the 10 bookmarks. Highlight which of the ones you want to use and press down on the joystick to set the bookmark. HTH

I didn't get one with mine, I just looked at picture to make sure I had it in right. Then you just press the middle button and it will start, when it get through it will give you a reading and turn off by itself, it also stores your reading. I really like mine,

I haven't tried yet. I mostly use my tab for reading. I can try one and let you know. :)
